Karl Rove: "Tell your liberal friends you met the devil today."
From the San Francisco Chronicle (Lee Garchik column) April 2:

Local spy K.D. forwards an e-mail from a friend in Savannah, Ga., whose son went to Washington, D.C., recently to compete in Academic WorldQuest, a national competition testing world knowledge, sponsored by the World Affairs Councils of America.

The boy was with a group walking through a House office building when they ran into Karl Rove. One student asked if Rove would pose for a picture. The boy said, "Mr. Rove ... Are you going to testify?''

"What do you think?'' answered Rove, walking away quickly and saying, "Just tell your liberal friends you met the devil today.''




I so despise this man...

57. That Was My First Thought
No devil, just a fat, pale, moist, unprincipled little traitor. Today's pig is tomorrow's bacon.

3. All good, and as it should be
He's realizing he might do time, and his petulant, arrogant, juvenile, true self is showing through.

for this when he reports for duty in hell.

10. From what I've read and seen on tv, the Devil really doesn't take too kindly
to this sort of conceit. He may not wait.

15. Well, he DID go down to Georgia--maybe he'll head north to DC
and remind Rovie he's just a low-level demon. And then they can fiddle-fight. With a band of demons joining in.

But those characters couldn't hold a candle to this demon.

8. This is up there with "I change constitutions..."
for all time fucked-up Rove non sequiters.

In case you forgot that gem:

http://dir.salon.com/story/opinion/blumenthal/2004/11/25/clinton_library/index.html

Offstage, beforehand, Rove and Bush had had their library tours. According to two eyewitnesses, Rove had shown keen interest in everything he saw, and asked questions, including about costs, obviously thinking about a future Bush library and legacy. "You're not such a scary guy," joked his tour guide. "Yes, I am," Rove replied. Walking away, he muttered deliberately and loudly, "I change Constitutions, I put churches in schools ..." Thus he identified himself as more than the ruthless campaign tactician -- as the invisible hand of power, pervasive and expansive, designing to alter the fundamental American compact.

plane crashes, Internet crashes, emergency public broadcast announcements, solar flares, rain, shark attacks.

45. what a steaming load
I've been here from the beginning of DU, i.e., I've read thousands more posts about this White House here than you ever will, and that's nothing but pointless and contemptible hyperbole.

And part of a very noticeable pattern, I might add.

Cause you can't believe in the Devil if you don't believe in God. Altho, you can believe in God without believing in the Devil, imo.

21. He's been admitting lots of odd stuff lately
I know he's not the Devil, because the Devil is a fictional character, but maybe he thinks he's the Devil. I mean he admitted the other day that he sacrifices small animals by ripping their top's<sic> off.

Someone get this freak to a psychiatrist stat.

shovels shit in a Texas cattle field after an apocalyptic war.

Max Brook's "World War Z" has a short chapter dedicated to him...4 pages of glory.

out a CIA spy, or claim he had the "real math" on the Congressional elections, only to be proven wrong again, or tell W to promote an amnesty program in the middle of an election year, or...

Etc., etc.

This man is all hype. He's no genius- he's a 5-year-old in a old fat man's body.

...see, once someone has your true name they can conjure with it. America has a long folklore of folks who trick the devil and beat him at his own game...time to reach into our collective mythology and KICK ASS!

44. I've been very close to "the devil"...
He spoke at an event I was working. A couple of nights before The Big Dog had spoken and when he walked backstage he said hello to everyone. Rove came in with a dozen gray-suited automatons, never spoke to anyone (but the rich benefactors) and was whisked to his limousine right afterward.

The Big Dog got multiple standing ovations. Rove got disrupted twice by protesters and the only people giving him an ovation were the people in the first 2 rows.

I felt like I needed a shower afterwards. He's truly slimy.

Satan may have thought he had a good protegee, but seeing the way in which all of your anti-democratic activities have suddenly started fucking up I'm sure he's pretty disgusted with you by now.

...like the rest of that klan. And a narcissist with delusions of granduer, to boot.

A mnemonic that can be used to remember the criteria for antisocial personality disorder is CORRUPT<3><4>:

* C - cannot follow law
* O - obligations ignored
* R - remorselessness
* R - recklessness
* U - underhandedness
* P - planning deficit
* T - temper

My first feeling was sadness. He now knows he's not the winner. I sense defeat in a statement like that one he made. Like a trapped, once proud, animal.


Oh well. Play with fire, and you will eventually get burned. Blossom boy.


I wonder what he'd do on acid. Just a random thought.
